How many hours ahead is Los Angeles of Dubai?

Why do the times differ between Los Angeles and Dubai?

Los Angeles, United States (GMT-7) is 11 hours behind Dubai, United Arab Emirates (GMT+4).

How is this conversion worked out?

Dubai runs on Asia/Dubai (GMT+4) and Los Angeles on America/Los_Angeles (GMT-7), a difference of 11 hours this week. The peak hours themselves are measured in Dubai local time, and that figure never moves. What moves is the reading on your own clock, twice a year, when either place changes for daylight saving. The two places do not always change on the same date, so for a couple of weeks each spring and autumn the difference is an hour off its usual value; that is why these pages are rebuilt every week rather than computed once.

Does any platform peak on a different day in Los Angeles?

Facebook, X and YouTube peak on a different calendar day in Los Angeles than in Dubai, so scheduling by day name alone will miss them. Converted times use the offsets in force this week (GMT-7 and GMT+4). The audience-clock column never changes; the converted column is rebuilt weekly so it stays right across daylight-saving changes. The same times apply across Dubai's timezone, including Abu Dhabi.
